Sunil Gangopadhyay talks about the importance of Adda in Calcutta

For those who live in Calcutta, the creative tradition is focused and shaped to some extent by the Adda an informal get together. Groups discussing ostensibly serious gossip or even light chatter. Many of Calcutta citizens justify this great pastime and claim it as responsible for inspiration and cross-fertilization of ideas.

Sunil Gangopadhyay says "Adda is an essential element of Calcutta's life, it is the city's speciality. It is the cause of Bengali's success and failure. Many say Bengali's don't work, simply talk. Again, the Adda probably inspires Bengalis creativity. I believe even famous scientists like Satyan Bose enjoyed Adda with associates. Painters have their Adda in cafes, restaurants and the maidans."
